Re: Have I Gone Over the Top?

I don't think you've gone over the top. You use a firewall (ZA), an anti-virus program (NOD32) and a couple of anti-spyware programs. Looks good to me; that's what I call layered protection.

Some people may argue that a good anti-trojan would be another program you should use because I hear again and again that NOD32 catches all sorts of viruses, but its detection of trojans is, they say, not that great. Anyway, I don't think it's "overkill" to use the programs you mentioned in your post. Just my 2 cents.

EDIT: redwolfe_98 seems to type a bit faster than I do. Yes, BOClean is an excellent anti-trojan. It's definitely worth buying.

I suggest as well as what you allready have as another layer:

Firefox
Spyware Blaster

and none of these will use RAM!!

cheers, rotty
